Cook is one of Kirby's one-use copy abilities. Like other one-use abilities like Crash and Paint, this ability takes out all enemies & mid-bosses (with defeated) on screen, however, unlike Crash and Paint, Cook cannot harm undefeated mini-bosses. When used, Kirby dons a chef's hat and summons a pot in which every regular enemies and defeated mini-bosses on-screen is pulled in, he cooks them all, and then magically turns them all into delicious food which Kirby can eat for replenishing health. This ability can be obtained by eating the mini-boss Chef Kawasaki after he is defeated.
As an odd note, In Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Kirby doesn't look as overly cheerful when using it.

[edit] In the Kirby games
| Attack Name | Controls | Description | Element |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cook | B | All enemies and mid-bosses (that are defeated) on-screen are sucked into Kirby's pot, cooked, and then transformed into food Kirby can use to replenish his health (this move does not work on bosses). | None |
[edit] In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
In the anime, Cook is changed into a full-fledged ability with a variety of uses in this version. It's typically acquired from inhaling Kawasaki's frying pan. In the transformation sequence,Kirby spins and forms his hat. Then a frying pan smacks his face and pulls it off. Cook Kirby's main weapon is a frying pan with many different uses. Often he uses it as a shield, reflecting attacks. However, he can cause it to grow to massive size and use it to fry or boil large enemies. He can also cause any kind of food to spontaneously appear from it.
[edit] Transformation Sequence
[edit] In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Kirby uses the Cook ability as his Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Where its function is largely unchanged from the games, with the exception that everything on screen (items and players, including characters that come out of Assist Trophies and Pokeballs) is sucked into the pot and cooked. After a while, the players and various items are shot out. While powerful (about 34% damage), it has the potential drawback of allowing those hit by the attack to use the items that come out with them. The number of Items produced is about the same number of items put into the pot. In order to counter this the user's best bet is to Inhale as many items as quickly as possible in order to prevent opponents from using them.The more damage enemies have the harder it is to avoid (i.e. if Kirby vs. Link with link at 200%+ damage he will be sucked into the pot easier and from a farther distance). Also, it can suck in enemies through impassable walls, floors, stars, etc. Players using the Final Smash find it useful to jump high into the air, then clang the utensils.
Oddly, this move will even suck in and destroy Pikmin, regardless if they are on Kirby's team or not. On a large enough stage, Olimar players (or other Kirby with Olimar's ability) are able to stay away from the Range of this attack and can throw their Pikmin into the Pot to create dozens of items. (This trick also works with Fox's blaster) [1]
If one grabs an Assist Trophy at mid air and Kirby initiates the Final Smash midair at the same time, all characters and items will get sucked in and Kirby will constantly bang his utensils nonstop until the game ends. [2]
Cook Kirby gets a Trophy as do all the Final Smash attacks. [3]

[edit] Trivia
- Cook, because it is an one-use ability, is one of the few Copy Abilities in Kirby Super Star, besides the other one-use abilities Crash, Paint and Sleep (and the triple-use ability Mike), that can only be obtained through inhaling in the Milky Way Wishes Subgame. Because of that, they are also the only Copy Abilities without Copy Essence Deluxes.
- Also like the other one-use abilities, a helper cannot be produced with it.
